--- Quote from: blt on 28 Nov 2016, 20:31 ---This paints Bubbles in a weird light to me. The fact that she and Corpse Witch have a code phrase and SOPs for police calls makes it seem less like she's a good person in a bad place and more "willing accomplice".
Maybe she justifies it to herself the way May does, that it's illegal for the wrong reasons, but still.

I personally feel that although Bubbles is a willing accomplice in a robot fighting ring in spite of her apparent disapproval, she remains involved because, although she can't stop it from happening, she can at least do some good by providing the kind of chassis repair service to the participating robots that would not otherwise be available to them because they don't have the cash or it's otherwise too dangerous for them to seek repair (because it would expose the activity). Thus she is making a bad situation better. Lighting a candle.
Corpse Witch tolerates what she and Faye do only because they also fit modifications to make the fights more entertaining. I suspect Bubbles doesn't care for this aspect of her work, but she agrees to it so that she may continue.
She's probably helping May out (in spite of the risk involved) for much the same reason.

Bear in mind that "Basili" isn't the full name, she got cut off by CW. Could be Basilisk, Basilica, Bastiliatcos, or Bastiliastephloccus (she's Greek, her mother was Galatea)

I vote for Bastiliastephloccusexpialadocious.

--- End quote ---
They're not aimable in OUR universe. Their technology is different and more advanced than ours in some ways. The fact it's shaped like a gun suggests that it is aimable.
Also, It's so weird seeing CW acting nicely.
Is it cold in here?:
Before I invest time figuring out the physics of it, consider that as a job requirement Clouseau might be issued an EMP-hardened chassis.

Fair point, but an undirected EMP would risk taking out innocent AIs and any other electronics in the area.
